I recently moved out of state because I had to. My father died this year and I was living with him free in exchange for caretaking to keep him out of a nursing home. I was a work at home employee for the past year. I begged my company to let me keep my job and work from home out of state. They let a lot of employees do that nationwide already. They told me “no.” I moved and applied for EDD. Well, EDD is denying me. I should have listened to my friends who told me to mess some things up at work and be let go. But NOOOO I have integrity and did not do that. I worked for them for over 20 years and did not want a bad mark on my employment record. I know of plenty of people who have been getting EDD for a very long time and they don’t look for work at all. They go through the phone book and put phoney information in there and are getting paid every two weeks. I am going to appeal this because there is no good reason for my company to deny me working at home when I already was. I hate EDD. I have worked my entire life and paid into the system and now, when I need help to pay the ripoff COBRA insurance at $550 a month – there is no help for me at all. Hell, I know of a few alcoholics that got fired for drinking and the EDD pays them!

cant fucking pass a bill that would help millions of unemployed americans but we can sure help with billions of financial aid to other countries when they need it. fuck america.

hey another thing, what about all the people that lost there fucking jobs to the oil spill? ah, fuck that will give china another billion dollars. Or, will spend another billion on global warming, or bail the fucking banks out. Why not help your own fucking americans who are in need first?

This is the problem . I have waiting over 2.
5 months . My claim was denied for reasons that are clearly not true. They did this to delay benefits.Now I must wait months to get a hearing that I know I wll win. They do not have the funds to pay claimants. This is why they are playing games.

Ever since I got part time work and been filling out the forms CORRECTLY, I keep getting letters schedule for phone interviews. They ask stupid questions which were already explained on the form in terms of the employer, pay, etc… Apparently, “still working” on the form has no meaning to them. My advice for people still on EDD, don’t work part time. You get hassle for taking responsibility doing the right thing instead of relying on the system. Instead, go play video games on the couch and spend 20 minutes a week on craigslist looking for work. That way, you should never run into any trouble with EDD. They almost want you to not work or get educated. Not allowing people to attend college to improve the skills and get a higher paying job in the future is just plain retarded. After this one last phone interview, I won’t even bother turning in anymore claims. The 60 dollars per check I get it’s not worth the headache. I make enough from part time work to sustain myself. EDD makes DMV seem efficient.

On May 9th I called the 800 number because the website refused to let me file online. The phone system must be set up to give mental health doctors more business because it just about drove me to commit suicide… Pan handling looks like a much easier and enjoyable process!!! California sucks…

I had a interview and the guy was a freaking ass to me on the phone saying I’m not telling the truth. I told him I’m not lying and I heard him say under his breathe on the phone “oh God” he said he’ll let me know and hung up on me. It’s been over a week and my checks has stopped coming in for no reason. WTF is what with that. Fuck u EDD workers fuck you!

Before I start with my story on the edd I would like to take the time to tell everyone who is dealing with these f..king idiots I feel your pain, and a little advice for the EDD to make things run a little smoother for everyone. (REMOVE YOUR HEADS FROM EACH OTHERS ASSES)
NOW FOR MY STORY…
It all started when I lost my job over a year ago, apparently I was on unemployment before and was over paid so had to repay a shit load of money and wait 5 weeks before i could collect anything but the funny thing is I haven’t been on unemployment in years…WTF? OK finally I get a check but can’t really complain I lost 10 lbs due to f..king starvation anyway received 1 check yay my luck has changed, I have money my tummy is full life is good…..Yay… just foolin myself my claim ended after 1 check… How is that even possible? Called the EDD good luck getting threw it’s like trying to call a f..king radio station to win free f..king tickets somewhere yep not going to happen. Anyway got threw they restarted my claim and f..king cut me 100 bucks a week, cool now i have enough money to eat every other week. So i’m not going to lie, after figuring out how to live on nothing my claim went smooth for awhile, they didn’t f..k with me I didn’t yell at them I have to admit I was bored as hell most of the time but surviving doing ok… Then one day I get a call to go to work for a few weeks…Oh shit here we go again, had to do the f..king phone bullshit again plus it was right at an extension ya I thought 5 weeks was long they made me wait an entire month before they called me almost 2 months before i received a check and as of today there still f..king with me. They keep sending me claim forms but no f..king checks plus they lowered my claim amount once again by over a grand this time. Not sure what i’m going to do this time, I have already sold just about everything I own. Anyway there is a bunch of more shit I could talk on them but truly who really gives a f..k anyway… Do I feel better?………
…..Not really..
